In Wisconsin, am I liable for any debts that my spouse (and ONLY my spouse) has signed for? Would I still be liable for any debts that my spouse (and ONLY my spouse) signed for if we were to get divorced.

My father-in-law were discussing marriage laws the other day, and had a disagreement on how this works. Hopefully you can settle our debate for us! Thank you.

I am Chris Campos. I live in washington State. I was married on January 3rd–2003 to Michelle Marie Baldwin in Tonasket Washington. My wife and I separated in may of 2005. A divorce was filed here in okanogan county– but according to county records– a default or dismissal was entered in 2009 – because neither of us went to court. I confirmed with the county court clerk here today, that my marriage to Michelle Marie Baldwin was still legally valid. My problem and question is this: Michelle Baldwin moved to Wisconsin in 2006. At the time I was told I didnt know the exact whereabouts to her relocation.I wanted to serve her papers but didnt know where to send them. Not that I want to save a failed marriage— But in the process of trying to locate her. I was told by several of my friends to find her on facebook as her profile is there listed as Michelle Baldwin-Johnson. Today I was on facebook and found something very interesting.
Michelle lists her new home as in Marshfield Wisconsin– Married to a man named Christopher Johnson. I wanna know if what she did is legal? if she can get into trouble for polygamy? I wanna Know my options as I want to divorce her. I have a copy of my marriage certificate and the case number is 05-3-00091-6 if it is important to your answer. The phone number for the okanogan county courthouse is 1-509-422-7275- to confirm my claim. How can I have charges pressed against her for polygamy?

Not sure you will see this, but have you been in touch with your daughter? If your life is more stable than hers it might be a good idea to look into rescuing your child and giving her the stability every child needs. Your “wife” is not stable and has your child in and out of different men’s homes as well as different homeless shelters on a regular basis. I hope you get some closure and I hope your child gets some stability in her life.
